The solenoid that controls the carousel movement is sticking throwing off carousel home position. The laser scanner beams are actually hitting the black plastic carousel instead of the cartridge drums therefore getting blank pages with no error codes. This was an early color machine that didn't have the error code 59.xx (transfer belt movement errors) that is currently in the error code list for newer HP color printers. This solenoid is not that difficult to get to. Just remove the sticky substance (self explanatory once you get to it). When I clean these I used blue painter tape on the sticky areas when reassembling which works for me, but you can do whatever...just get the sticky off!!

HP 2840 will not print on 3 inches of left side of page

Take the toner cartridge out, shake it back and forth, and turn it around in a circle a few time. Put it back in the priter, and print. Order a new toner cartridge.

If this is an inkjet printer, ignore this response.
